    Perlick 545PC taps 'decaying'

    The reason I spent the extra few # on the SS versions and only sell them. It's only a matter of time before they are useless.

    Bars/Cafes/ Things to do in Venice?

    Turn left, turn right, keep doing this until you can't hear the crowd and are suitably lost. It'a maze with absolute wonders within. Found so many holes in the walls with great coffee and nice beers with memories that will stay with you for a life time. Even the wines pumped out of 10L kegs, if...

    new kegerator build: which taps?

    Perlick. Full Stainless versions. Personally not so keen on the flow control. I have 1 in my setup and it pours the worst out of the three.

    Real estate want me to remove my electric brewery

    Wait get out of here! Is that why none of my stuff is tag tested when I buy it from a retailer in AUS? Or no current affair programs with family's saying they lost it all because the insurer found out the faulty appliance was not test and tagged?

    Craft Beer rant by silly girl

    Just like saying stop ruining my Mc Donalds binge by educating me what I'm eating or introducing me to new flavors I may love or hate. Stuff your adventure in good wholesome tasty food I don't want a paradigm shift. Bet the bitch still watches master chef religiously with a glass of "insert...

    So I have to set up a safety system within my residence, including MSDS of all chemicals stored on the property in approved fire lockers and conduct a safety brief where I state where the emergency evacuation point is? Who the fire warden will be, the contractors obligation to adhere to my...

    Fusel Alcohol

    Man arrested over alleged distillery operation at Perth house

    Looked into the legalities of this a while back and far to much of it was hear say / conflicting laws. What I believe is the "rough" guide lines are / were; You can own a still for the purpose of perfume manufacture <5L capacity. The moment you refine a wash for ethanol production you break...

    Wild Yeast Problems - How you overcame

    Lost 120L + over 3 batches recently. It can be soul crushing when your on your last keg let alone out of beer! Nothing I did fixed it. Replaced tap, nuked with every chemical I could still had to tip each batch after the other. In the end I ditched the plastic fermenter all is well again. I...

    Woohoo - fixed it

    I just did and it looks like it's the same freezer setup. I removed my thermostat completely and modified the timer so I can manually set it to defrost if it freezes. Works a treat now, holds temp and if it gets frosty I just crank the heater on for 2-4mins and all is well. My heater...

    Out of date kits

    Used a pale ale can that was so out of date was dark brown no rust or explosions when I opened it. Made beer*.. Even used the yeast under the lid. Made beer*.. You all are all too precious :D *Beer it may have been in the loose sense. Still got though the keg with some help from a few mates.

    Connor Breware update?

    I've used him in the past and he was perfect. Sounds like your just awaiting 1 keg to replace a defected one? Fast way have always delivered my packages, sometimes not the same state they were sent but they got there.

    Connor Breware update?

    Seems a bit odd, I use fastway and I think the booklet you pre pay for has a duplicate ticket with the respective number that stays with the book. Like 2 tickets. One goes on the parcel the other stays with your book. Might be using the online ticket / print method but surely that would have...

    EBC / SRM calculations for grains into beers

    Beersmith always ends up indicating lighter than the actual result. I now go to the higher of the ebc/srm range indicated by the grain malter and expect it to be a little darker on the first attempt. Then you can adjust to your result as you've said. I wonder if your can may have the same...

    Gladwrap instead of airlock

    I think it's like 1.2 KM of glad wrap. You'll almost never run out. Unless your mate need to be warped up before his missus picks him up. Better get two rolls.
